Abstract: A key-operable lock cylinder (2) comprises a rotor (4), a stator (6), a keyway (10) extending axially into the rotor (4) and a plurality of locking pins (16, 16'). The rotor (4) is mounted within the stator (6) for rotation about its axis and a plurality of transverse passageways (12) extend through the rotor (4) and the stator (6) and intersect the keyway (10). A pair of the locking pins (16, 16') are slidably mounted in each passageway (12) and the locking pins (16, 16') of a pair are resiliently biased so as to be in mutual abutment within the keyway (10) by a biasing means associated with each locking pin (16, 16'), such that one locking pin (16, 16') of each pair projects across an interface (22) between the rotor (4) and stator (6) so as to prevent rotation of the rotor (4). In use, when a complementary key (30) is inserted in the keyway (10), the locking pins (16, 16') are movable by the key (30) such that all the locking pins (16, 16') become located entirely within the rotor (4), so as to permit rotation of the rotor (4) (Fig 2). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of making a gas permeable material having a diffusive gas permeability at 0.21 atmosphere diffusive driving force in the range of about 0.5x105 cm3/100 square inches/day to about 2x105 cm3/100 square inches/day. The method comprises the step of coating a pattern of spots of a gas impermeable material onto a porous substrate, followed by a step of enlarging the pattern of spots to cover greater than about 95% of the porous substrate such that the gas permeability occurs only through openings between the pattern of spots. The gas impermeable material is preferably a hot melt adhesive and the porous substrate is preferably a nonwoven. The step of enlarging the pattern of spots includes smearing substantially circular spots into oblong spots as the pattern of spots is printed onto the porous substrate until the oblong spots partially overlap. The smearing is achieved by operating a printing screen at a surface speed higher than a draw rate of the porous substrate. Alternatively, the step of enlarging the pattern of spots includes calendering through a fixed gap the porous substrate after the pattern of spots is coated thereon.

Abstract: A device for controlling the discharge of a battery supplying an intermittent load, such as a nerve stimulation device. The device includes a controller which operates a switched inductor to feed a capacitor with numerous small pulses from the battery, thereby building up the charge and voltage on the capacitor, and occasionally discharging the capacitor to a load. The capacitor discharge is at higher current than the small pulses from the battery, so the battery is drained at small instantaneous discharge rates compared the too high instantaneous discharge current from the capacitor.
